The Women's conference was wonderful! There was some great teaching by Katy and Judi and it was all orchestrated by God so well. Every teaching was relevant to the women and it blessed all involved.
The women were each able to pick out a purse to take home with them. They were so excited and thankful. Thank you to everyone that contributed purses for these women!
We have been in the school sharing Bible stories the last two days. Many of the children remember Brogan from last year and were so excited to see her. Their faces are precious.
Glow sticks to remind the children that Jesus is the light of the world. They were fascinated with them.
Brogan found some boys near where we are staying. She asked them if the wanted to play futball and they of course took her up on it. They were very good! She had a blast with them. One of them asked me to email him this picture of the three of them!
Brogan left her tennis shoes at home. She remembered when we arrived at the airport. She has only her crocs and it is not easy to play in those. We finally had a chance to go shoe shopping. Of course, shoe shopping in Rwanda! We got her these shoes for less than $9! They are even pretty stylish!
Sunday was church service at Remera. Some of Brogan's friends from last year were there and got her up to dance with them. She wasn't as hesitant this year and got right up there with them. Her moves still don't compare!
Some of the Youth choir were even wearing shirts that were given to Esron on his visit to Huntsville this past Fall.
It such a blessing to be in a worship service here. They give it everything they have and more! We arrived after 9:00 and they had already begun the service and they worshiped through song and dance and praise until 12:30. Wayne gave the message and we finished around 1:00 and had another 1/2 hour of talking and fellowship afterward. I love how pure they are!
The Pastor training started today. It was good to see so many faces from last year as well as some new ones. Please pray for these men over the next few days. That the teachings would be relevant and that they may understand them to be able to take them back to their village churches.
We are handing out soccer uniforms to the boys in Remera. They love them! Thank you HVYSA for donating them!!!
Well, that's a quick update. My phone is in and out of service so stay tuned for more when I'm able.
Please pray for:
-The continued teachings in the school and pastor training.
-For us to discern needs for the school, teachers and pastors
-For upcoming travel to the villages and church plants
-For continued health and safety.
Thanks y'all! You are a huge blessing to us!
